Spring is finally here, and with its arrival come more beautiful sunsets. The springtime sky produces some of the best ones I get all year long. This one was shot a few days ago after a rainy afternoon. I used shutter priority, then post-processed with a curves adjustment and cropped for pano format.

My apologies - I know it has been awhile since I posted anything. This winter has been pretty rough for me, especially the last couple of months. I developed a serious infection in my right foot, then contracted that horrible respiratory flu while at the urgent care facility waiting to have my foot looked at. By the next morning I was very, very sick, and it took about 10 days for me to get over the flu and get the infection under control. At the same time, the road I live on was in terrible shape (mud and 2' ruts in places), and was impassable in spots, which left me sick and trapped up on this hill - even my 4WD vehicle was bogging down in the mud. A few days later, I had another big snowstorm roll in, which dumped another 15" of snow. I was still sick, so my neighbor down the road came up with his farm tractor and dug me out (literally) - I had drifts 3' deep in the driveway. I'm finally on the mend, and the weather has improved enough that the road is solid again. Living in the country is beautiful, but very challenging at times!

I want to thank all of you for visiting and commenting, and for your emails. I hope that all is well with each of you. Please be sure to take some time daily to enjoy all of the wonder that springtime brings to your world. -- Kim

Sorry to hear you were so sick. It was a rough winter for a few people I know. My middle son had a respiratory thing for over a month and a half. It was just awful. I am glad to hear you are on the mend.

This is a stunning, moody sunset. I love that sky and how you framed it. Very, very nice. I'm sorry to hear you were so sick and hope that you're all better now. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Beautiful stuff!

Kim, I love sunsets, too! Tremendous work. I have to commend you on your photography and have recently added your link to my new project, ILovePhotoBlogs.com.

Wow that was a beautiful sky and the hanging trees adds drama to it. I'm glad your on the mend now, I've been visiting your site often but this is the first time I'm commenting. Thanks for the beautiful photos, its really inspiring.

I love the photo. I need to pay more attention to how you guys do this. I finally got a nice camera but have no idea how to use it. Hopefully, I'll be able to figure out how to take nice shots like that.
